No-cook Christmas bento for MisterMan today. We got home late after TinySprite's debut Nutcracker ballet performance so there was no cooking to be done. They were so excited and wound up by the whole affair that they could barely get to sleep. Today started very grumpily, as a result. Let's hope the snowman lifts some spirits! It's a steamed char siu bao, which I thought was appropriate for a snowman, and all I had to do was add nori facial details, radish cheeks, a carrot nose (yes, I did cut a slot for it and stuck it in his face), and a crusty bread pipe. He's got a cucumber hat and even some broccoli earmuffs. Hello Frosty! There's also pork chow mein, some grapes and a satsuma mandarin. Whew! I'll have to get back into the routine again. Tomorrow. ^_^

Hohoho ... Frosty the Snowman so cute! You are a great Bao Queen hehehe :D your bao creations are all awesome! Thanks for sharing TS's great moment picture with us. And welcome back to the routines again :)

So cute snowman! I loved the idea :). Earmuffs and all.. just wow!And congrats to TS! She looks so happy and proud! She surely is, the kids did very nicely!! Amazing for such young age! i went ows and aws ^_^

Wonderful! I was all bent out of shape trying to figure out how to make a corn cob pipe for a bento snowman. I am glad you figured it out. :) Tiny Sprite is soooo darling. I love the pics from her performance. :)

I am a former research scientist turned stay-at-home-mom of 2 who got started with bento in an effort to help my kids learn that eating healthy and nutritious foods can be fun and cute. I make a bento lunch for my 14yo (9th grade) son & my 10yo (5th grade) daughter every school day, and post the pictures on my sherimiya ♥ flickr photostream. Here in this blog is where I describe each bento, and you'll also get a peek inside our family adventures. Thanks for taking a look, and please let me know what you think ^-^!
